Description

The utility model belongs to the field of printing industry, namely the bookbinding industry, and can be used in the production of printed products of a special format, in particular, printed editions that include more than one book block, and at the same time can be transformed.

A known publication that includes several book units, each of which has an independent binding or pamphlet, mounted in a common cover or binding made in the form of a support plate with slots in the surface, in which the specified book units are attached with a double-sided arrangement |see patent of the Russian Federation 2305040 (C2) from class IPC B420 1/06, published on August 27, 2007 in Bull. Mo 24).

The disadvantages of the well-known edition are the complexity of its design, caused by the fact that, in addition to the presence of an independent binding in each book block, the edition contains an additional binding common to all book blocks in the form of a support plate, in the slots of which the specified blocks are attached, as well as significant overall dimensions due to the fact that the support plate in the design is made without the possibility of transformation to ensure compactness.

In addition, the well-known edition is technologically complex, which is associated with the need to perform a number of additional manufacturing operations: non-standard cutting of the material (bound cardboard) for making slits in the support plate, securing them with a two-sided arrangement of book blocks. All this leads to the complication of the manufacturing technology, the inconvenience of use and the high cost of the well-known edition.

These shortcomings are partially eliminated in the known printed edition, which contains two book blocks fixed in one binding cover, the back part of which is common to both book blocks, while the roots of the book blocks are located from opposite ends of the back part of the binding cover with the possibility of opening the book blocks in opposite sides with the formation of a field between them in the open state, which, together with the rear endpapers of both book blocks, forms a triptych space, for example for the placement of illustrations, while the two independent front parts of the binding cover are arranged in such a way that their edges adjoin each other in the closed state book blocks, forming a double field of graphic design of the publication | see patent of the Russian Federation 58982 (01) from classes of the IPC

B420 1/00, B420 3/12, published on December 10, 2006 in Bull. Mo 34|.

З The construction of the well-known printed edition is generally capable of transformation (decomposition) and at the same time is technologically simpler to implement, compared to the previous analogue.

However, the drawback of the well-known printed edition is the presence in its design of one common binding cover for two book blocks. Despite the ability of the known structure to transform as a whole, the very back part of the specified binding cover is not capable of transforming, which causes the significant overall dimensions of the known edition. At the same time, the proposed design of the rear part of the specified binding cover, which is common to the book blocks, is not reliable, because under a significant load, depending on the thickness of the book blocks, its central part, located opposite the adjacent edges of the two front parts of the binding cover, is a potential place of failure. In addition, the well-known edition is characterized by an unusual and inconvenient for users flipping of the pages of the book blocks to opposite sides from the middle of the base: the leaves of the left book block are turned to the left, and the right one - respectively, to the right. At the same time, the sheets of two book blocks turned over during use cover a three-part field with illustrations (triptych space), which calls into question the functionality of the latter. Also, a significant functional limitation of the known design is the possibility of combining no more than two book blocks within one edition. This, in turn, limits the possibilities for the placement of printed information, despite even the additional space for illustrations created by the three-part field common to the two book blocks of the back of the binding cover and both of their back endpapers. In addition, the functional limitation of the design also applies to the amount of printed information placed separately in each of the two book blocks. In particular, the features of the design define clear requirements for the thickness of the book blocks - they must be exactly the same, so that the upper parts of the binding cover are at the same level and, abutting each other at the edges, form the double field of graphic design of the publication declared in the known proposal and thus have an aesthetic appearance.

These shortcomings are partially eliminated in the next known analogue - a book that folds out and contains three independent book blocks located on a common rigid base in such a way that a wide central book block is placed in the middle part of the base, and on the sides symmetrically from it are located two narrow book blocks with the possibility of folding on the plane of the central book block | see patent of the Russian Federation for the industrial model Mo 49591 of the MKPZ 19-04 class, published on November 16, 2001 in BPZ Mo 111.

Due to the presence of three book blocks at once, the well-known book can contain much more printed information, compared to the previous analogue, and thanks to the possibility of folding two side book blocks onto the central third block to obtain a book of a single format, overall dimensions acceptable for a book publication are provided.

However, the lack of a known book remains the presence of a solid-cut base common to all book blocks, the construction of which is not reliable during transformation, especially in places of folds on the borders of book blocks. Also, a significant functional limitation of the known design, as in the previous analogue, is the possibility of combining within one edition a clearly defined number of book blocks (in this case - only three). At the same time, the functional imperfection of the known design lies in the limitation regarding the placement of printed information: the two side book blocks are relatively narrow, which regulates the choice of information presentation format, and the central book block, on the contrary, is wide, which potentially increases the dimensions of the book as a whole. In addition, since the sizes of all three book blocks are not the same, it makes it difficult to produce a famous book. It should also be noted that in the unfolded form, the well-known book is relatively convenient to use only with the landscape orientation of the sheets of the book blocks (in this case, the sheets of all three book blocks are turned from the bottom up, like a notebook) - with the book orientation of the sheets, the structure is unfolded vertically, which is not convenient for viewing through remote access to the upper relative to the user's position of the book block.

The closest analogue of the proposed useful model in terms of the number of essential features and the technical result that is achieved is a multi-block book on a spiral spiral, which includes binding covers and book blocks connected to them, independent of each other, and made with the possibility of folding the book by placing the book blocks on top of each other , whereby each book block is provided with front and back parts of the binding cover, and is also connected by the upper side of the sheet with a single folding cover, designed to form solid roots on the left and right when the book is closed, at least one of which is integral and the other - folding | see patent of the Russian Federation No. 24147 (01) from classes IPC" В420 3/00, 8420 3/02, В42Е 13/14, published on 07/27/2002|.

The common features of the known spiral multi-block book and the claimed solution are that both designs include binding covers and associated book blocks, wherein in both designs the book blocks are independent of each other and each book block is provided with a front and by the back parts of the binding cover, as well as the fact that the transformation (folding) of the book is carried out by stacking the book blocks connected to the binding covers on top of each other.

However, the known design contains a number of structural differences that prevent obtaining the technical result provided for by the object of the claimed utility model.

The main disadvantage of the closest analogue is the complexity and unreliability of its design, due to the fact that in addition to the presence of the front and back parts of the binding cover for each book block, the book also additionally contains a single folding cover with solid roots common to all book blocks, while the back binding cover of each book block is attached (glued) to a single folding cover. The known technical solution, of course, complicates the design of the book and significantly increases the cost of its production (except for the personal binding, each book block is connected to a common cover for all book blocks). At the same time, such a solution does not ensure the reliability of the design and the long service life of the known book, because with a significant thickness of the book blocks and with a large number of them (according to the known design, there can be at least three of them), the integral cover cannot have sufficient strength characteristics across the entire plane of its surface, especially in the locations of solid roots, which bear the greatest load and are the places where cracks are most likely to occur.

The next significant disadvantage of the closest analogue is that the book blocks are connected directly to the front and back parts of the binding covers and to the single folding cover by the short side of the sheet. Such a feature of the design functionally limits the known book and is generally inconvenient to use. Thus, according to the well-known proposal, the fastening of book blocks with the short side of the sheet in the book orientation of the latter occurs from above, which allows you to turn the sheets from the bottom up (like a notebook), and this is not always familiar and convenient for users. At the same time, this design of the book becomes larger during operation: the book blocks are laid out in a horizontal direction, and the sheets in them - in a vertical direction. When the sheets are horizontally oriented, the same fastening of the 60 book blocks is located to the left of the user, which does not ensure convenient use to the same extent with all blocks of a partially or fully unfolded book - some blocks will be far from the user, and others, on the contrary, too close. With this arrangement of fastening book blocks, the known book has significant vertical dimensions, which makes it difficult to place it on the surfaces of most known table structures.

Another important structural disadvantage of the closest analogue is the following: provided that the book blocks are connected directly to the front and back parts of the binding covers by the upper short side of the sheet, the front part of the solid cover of a well-known book, which is to the left of the first book block, does not bear a special functionality, as it closes the first book block, which, by the way, already has its own upper part of the binding cover, solely for the purpose of forming a part of the folding root at the place of folding of the solid cover.

The use of attaching book blocks to a spiral is a separate disadvantage of the closest analogue. At the same time, the need to perform a mandatory structural element - perforation under the spiral - on the upper edge of the folding cover and the book blocks themselves with binding covers complicates the design and production technology of the well-known book as a whole. It should be noted that the presence of a spiral, usually made of metal or plastic, increases the production cost of a well-known book, as well as complicates the process of its disposal (recycling).

Also, an important disadvantage of the closest analogue is that the known design does not include a dust cover and/or a protective case, respectively, to protect the book as a carrier of a significant amount of printed information placed in several book blocks at once.

The useful model is based on the task of improving the technical, operational and consumer characteristics of the well-known multi-block book by increasing the reliability of the design and increasing the service life, improving the functionality, ensuring a more compact transformation, simplifying the design and manufacturing technology through appropriate design changes and improvements.

The solution to the given problem is achieved by the fact that in a multi-block book, which includes binding covers and book blocks connected to them, independent of each other, made of

With the possibility of folding a book with the placement of book blocks on top of each other, each book block being provided with front and back parts of the binding cover, according to the proposal, the sheets of each book block are connected together along the plane opposite to its front edge, the front and back parts binding covers of each book block are connected to each other with the help of the root of the binding cover, as well as to the book block using, respectively, the front and back endpapers, while the back parts of the binding covers of adjacent book blocks are connected to each other using separately made connecting roots, each of which is located between the front edge of one book block and the root of the binding cover of another consecutively placed book block, and at the same time has a width that corresponds to the total thickness of the book blocks with binding covers connected to it and, if available book blocks more than two, another or other books of blocks with covers located between the book blocks connected by it in the folded state of a multi-block book.

At the same time, according to the proposal, each connecting root is attached with one end between the back part of the binding cover and the back endpaper of one book block along the line of its front edge, and the other - between the root of the binding cover and the back part of the binding cover of the other book block adjacent to it block along the line of its root edge.

In addition, according to the proposal, in the proposed multi-block book, the connecting roots can be made rigid solid cut.

Also, according to the proposal, in the proposed multi-block book, the connecting roots can be made of flexible material and additionally equipped with gaps.

At the same time, according to the proposal, in various possible versions of the implementation of the proposed useful model, the multi-block book can additionally contain a dust cover and/or a protective case.

The listed features of the proposed technical solution are essential features of the proposed useful model, and their combination ensures the achievement of the expected technical result - obtaining a simpler, compared to the closest analogue, design of a multi-block ledger with increased reliability and increased service life while simultaneously ensuring a more compact transformation of it with the possibility of convenient placement of several book blocks within one printed edition with a convenient transition from one book block to another. This ensures high functional and ergonomic characteristics of the multi-block design of the book, which in turn contributes to a significant improvement of its consumer properties.

The causal relationship between the essential features of the proposed solution and the achieved technical result is as follows.

Due to the fact that in the proposed design of a multi-block book, the sheets of each book block are connected to each other along the plane opposite to the front edge of the book block, provided that the front and back parts of the binding cover of each book block are, in turn, connected to each other with the help of the root of the binding cover, and with the book block - with the help of the front and back endpapers, respectively, a more compact transformation of the multi-block book is ensured - it, unlike its closest analogue, is unfolded only horizontally, without increasing in height. In practice, a change in the spatial location of the fastening of the sheets of the book block together with the structurally ensured possibility of connecting parts of the binding cover not directly with all the sheets of the book block, as in the closest analogue, but indirectly, with the help of endpapers, and only with the outermost sheets of the book block of the block, allows you to use any known type of connection of the sheets of the book block and design of its root edge. Thus, the pages of the book block, previously folded into notebooks or without folding, can be fastened together, for example, by gluing, stitching with a thread or wire, and if necessary - even by folding with metal or plastic springs, etc. As you can see, the use of spirals in the proposed design, according to the proposed principle of attaching book blocks to binding covers, is one of the possible and at the same time optional options for connecting the sheets of the book block to each other. This provides an opportunity to expand the functionality, simplify the design and manufacturing technology, as well as significantly reduce the cost of a multi-block book.

At the same time, it should be noted that in the proposed design of a multi-block book, unlike the closest analogue, the binding covers of the book blocks are made separately from each other and at the same time are connected to each other by their rear parts using separate

From made connecting roots, which can be made of a stronger material than the material of the binding covers, for example, leather, plastic, etc. This makes it possible to increase the reliability of the design of the proposed multi-block ledger and ensures a long service life. According to the proposal, the connecting roots can be made both rigid, solid, pre-formed, and made of flexible material and additionally equipped with spacers, which give the roots rigidity and strength.

Due to the presence in the proposed book design of the above connecting roots, each of which is located between the front edge of one book block and the root of the binding cover of another book block placed in series, and also due to the fact that the width of each of the connecting roots corresponds to the total thickness of the book blocks with binding covers connected to each other and, if there are more than two book blocks, another or other book blocks with covers located between the book blocks connected by it in the folded state of a multi-block book, in the folded state of the book, the surface of the front edges of all book blocks are closed, and therefore reliably protected from possible damage during storage or transportation, which additionally contributes to increasing the reliability of the design and increasing the service life of the book.

Due to the proposed principle of attachment of connecting roots to the binding covers of book blocks, in which each connecting root is attached with one end between the back of the binding cover and the back endpaper of one book block along the line of its front edge, and the other - between the root of the binding cover and the back part of the binding cover of another book block adjacent to it along the line of its root edge, it is possible to fold the book blocks sequentially or according to the order specified by the manufacturer in one-to-one order during the transformation of the book, which ensures the convenience of use, the compact design of the proposed book in the folded state (the dimensions of the proposed books in height and width generally correspond to the dimensions of one book block). At the same time, the declared design contributes to the expansion of the range of printed products, since such a book can be produced in any format, and provides ease of use with the possibility of turning the pages of each book block in the unfolded state of a multi-block book from right to left, which is usual for users.

In addition, the multi-block book of the proposed design is convenient to use, because it allows you to place various media of printed information in several independent book blocks, for example, to combine several thematic blocks into one complete publication (album, catalog, directory, advertising bulletin, magazine, etc.) under a common name (heading). The independent arrangement of book blocks in combination with the proposed book transformation principle allows you to use all book blocks regardless of the sequence of their location in the proposed book: you can view each of the book blocks separately or all at the same time.

In the proposed design of a multi-block book, all without exception parts of the binding covers, unlike the closest analogue, are fully functional, while on the front parts of the binding covers of the book blocks, in addition to the elements of artistic design, the names of individual thematic blocks can be placed, and the back part of the binding cover one of the extreme book blocks may, for example, contain the general name of the publication.

Providing the possibility to additionally equip the proposed multi-block book with a dust cover and/or a protective case makes it possible to more reliably protect the structure of the book as a carrier of a significant amount of printed information placed in several book blocks at once from possible damage during operation, storage and transportation, and also provides additional space for artistic and aesthetic design of the publication.

In general, the set of essential features provides a technical result, which consists in increasing the ease of use, reliability, term of use, manufacturability, reduction of cost and expansion of functionality.

The further essence of the useful model is explained in the description, which is given below by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the drawing, in which there is shown: in fig. 1 - general view of the proposed multi-block book in a fully unfolded (transformed) state; in fig. 2 - the offered book is in working condition, fully laid out; in fig. C - a fragment of the proposed book, with an enlargement; in fig. 4 - the proposed book in a partially folded state; in fig. 5 - the proposed book is in a fully folded state, located with the front part of the binding cover facing down.

The proposed multi-block book includes several, for example three, independent book blocks 1 connected to the corresponding number of binding covers 2 of the component

From the type and made with the possibility of sequential stacking on top of each other in the process of transformation of the book. The number of book blocks 1 installed in the binding cover 2 is not regulated by the useful model - it is chosen arbitrarily, depending on the thickness of the book blocks 1 themselves, practical considerations of ease of use, and so on.

Each binding cover 2 consists of a front part C and a similar back part 4, which are connected to each other by means of a root 5. The front part C of the binding cover 2 is connected to the book block 1 by means of a front endpaper b, one side of which is attached (glued) along the fold to the root edge 7 of the book block 1, and the other side is attached along the entire plane to the inner side of the front part C of the binding cover 2 (not shown, due to the common knowledge of such fastening in book structures with one book block). The back part 4 of the binding cover 2 is connected to the book unit 1, respectively, with the help of the back endpaper 8 in a similar way as described above.

Sheets 9 of each book block 1 are connected to each other along the plane opposite to the front edge 10 of the specified book block 1.

The proposed multi-block book also contains a certain number of separately made connecting roots 11 for combining the binding covers 2 with the book blocks 1 fixed in them into a single structure capable of transformation by unfolding and folding in the horizontal direction with the placement of book blocks 1 one on top of the other when folding the book and with the possibility to turn over the sheets 9 of each book block 1 from right to left in the unfolded state (fig. 1, 2). For this, the rear parts of the 4 binding covers of the 2 adjacently located book blocks 1 are connected to each other by means of the indicated connecting roots 11. As a rule, the number of the indicated connecting roots 11 should be one less than the number of book blocks 1 (in this case - two). Each connecting root 11 is located between the front edge 10 of one book block 1 and the root 5 of the binding cover 2 of another sequentially placed book block 1. At the same time, each connecting root 11 is attached by one of its ends between the back part 4 of the binding cover 2 and the back endpaper 8 of one book block 1 along the line of its front edge 10, and the other - between the root 5 of the binding cover 2 and the back part 4 of the binding cover 2 of the other book block 1 adjacent to it along the line of its root edge 7 (Fig. 3). The width B of each connecting root 11 corresponds to the total thickness (Бб1--б2ж...б»u of one book block 1 with a binding cover 2 located in front of it (to the left of it) and of all subsequent book blocks 1 with binding covers 2, located in sequence behind it (to the right of it) (fig. 1, 5).

In the fully folded state of the proposed multi-block book (Fig. 5), the connecting roots 11 cover the surfaces of the front edges 10 of the book blocks 1.

The connecting roots 11 can be made of rigid, one-piece, pre-formed, hard materials such as plastic, specially treated leather, etc., or they can be made of flexible material (cardboard, fabric, etc.). In the latter case, in order to give the design of the connecting roots 11 proper strength and rigidity, they are additionally equipped with spacers - strips of the appropriate size from a stiffer material (not shown, given the common knowledge of such a solution in the design of the book root with one book block). At the same time, along the edges of each connecting root 11, between the recess (not shown) and the rear binding covers 4 of two connected adjacent book blocks 1, depressions (marks) 12 are made for better unfolding and folding of a multi-block book. In the construction of a continuous rigid connecting root 11, the above recesses 12 are performed on both edges, as a rule, during production in the forming process.

In various possible variants of implementation of the proposed useful model, a multi-block book can additionally contain a dust cover (a cover held on the front

From the rear part of the 4 binding covers 2 of the outer book blocks 1 due to the flaps bent inward under the specified parts of the binding covers, and also glued on the connecting roots 11 if necessary), and/or a protective case (not shown).

The further essence of the proposed useful model is explained together with the most successful from a practical point of view, but not limiting, example of its implementation.

If it is necessary to get acquainted with the information printed in one of the book blocks 1, gradually unfold the book. First, the first book block 1 is laid out on the left. After that, the front part Z of the binding cover 2 is opened and the sheets 9 of book block 1 are turned from right to left, perceiving the necessary information. If the information from the adjacently located and stacked second and third book blocks 1 is not needed at the moment, then the right part of the book (Fig. 4) is not unfolded.

З To gain access to the second and third book blocks 1, the book is unfolded completely to the right (Fig. 1). At the same time, it becomes possible to start viewing from any of the three book blocks 1, regardless of the sequence of their location in the proposed book.

After viewing, book blocks 1 are stacked sequentially, from right to left, on top of each other until the book returns to its original position. Then, if there is a protective case in the design, the book is placed in its cavity.

According to the results of practical testing, the proposed technical solution for a multi-block book is suitable for industrial use, as it does not contain any structural elements or materials that could not be reproduced at the current stage of science and technology development, in particular, in the fields of printing and brochure - bookbinding production, while it can be implemented using known technologies for the production of printed products, and therefore this technical solution is considered to meet the "industrial suitability" criterion. At the same time, in the known sources of patent and other scientific and technical information, no designs and samples of a multi-block book with the set of essential features indicated in the proposal were found, therefore the proposed technical solution is considered to meet the "novelty" criterion, and therefore can receive legal protection.
